3. Modify the SHOWTHREAD template by placing the following code(or identical code contained in the attached zip file) after the $poll variable which is around the 14th line:

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread']">
        <div style="text-align:left; padding-bottom: 5px;">
        <span id="oneclick_container">
        <noscript>$vbphrase[rating]:</noscript>
        <form action="threadrate.php?t=$threadid" method="post" id="oneclick_vote_one">

Technical comments:
Uses AJAX but will fall back to submitting the form first, or if that fails it will use <noscript> tags to display submit buttons. The fallback methods are not thoroughly tested so, if you are able, please test them and report any problems you have.

Template comments:
Be careful about moving the HTML block around because it will fail if it becomes nested inside of another form.

Recommendations after installing:
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Allow Thread Rating Vote Changes" to No
- in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Required Thread Rating Votes to Show Rating" to 1 (this will hopefully encourage the use of thread ratings)
- install the Thread-Ratings on Search mod which was written for 3.5.x but is compatible with 3.6.x. ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=106853 )
- modify the threadrate_add phrase, In Languages & Phrases under "Search in Phrases," do a search for 'Your vote on this thread has been added' and modify it to say something more friendly/humorous

Are you a designer?
maybe you can make the HTML chunk more asthetically pleasing with images or CSS

changelog:
0.1 - initial release
0.1.1 - define JS threadid which may or may not be defined later in the page


Read this before posting
If you want to tell me what error(s) you receive, please do the following:
1. Make sure you DO NOT put the HTML chunk inside of another form it will not work at all if you do this. Please make sure it is after the $poll variable.
2. If you think the error is JS related and you are using Firefox, click Tools > Console then the Errors tab, clear it out first, then try doing the thread rating, Right-click and copy the errors related that show for your forum.
3. You did not upload the JavaScript file to the proper location

READ THIS: Set "Check Thread Rating" to Yes in vBulletin Options under "Thread Display Options (showthread)"

This clarification gives me a very clear picture of what I will need to do to test and correct it. I should be able to have time to focus on this on the weekend, I will PM when the issue is resolved.

Please inform me also about some sol of this prob

Same problem here. The prompt still comes up and when you try to vote again it says:

"According to our records you have already voted on this thread. Changing votes is not allowed."

The ideal way to have it is not show the vote prompt at all once you've voted.

edit: or have it show something like "You've already voted" instead of the vote bar.

I could only get your modification to work properly when it's listed under $poll instead of the above. Maybe that's the problem you're having with this hack?

we just need it to not display anymore. like vb.org

[DPSR]

Only one question, how can i make it display rate result message in a box? anybody know?

[fci]

as long as you have this surrounding the rating thing it should hide it you have already voted and you need to do "in vBulletin Options > Poll and Thread Rating Options, set "Allow Thread Rating Vote Changes" to No"

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread']">
</if>
</if>

since someone said this didn't work, you could try modifying it to this (untested but should work):

<if condition="$show['threadrating']">
    <if condition="$show['ratethread'] && $threadinfo['vote']==NULL">
</if>
</if>

if it still shows it, I'm not sure what else to suggest

DPSR, you mean in a JavaScript alert message box? this would then make it a two-click thread rating system as the user would have to click 'OK' + clicking the rating they wanted.. I can tell you how if you really want it though
